About this listen

"In every respect, Campbell's best." (Kirkus Reviews)

Isolated on the moors of northern England, the town of Moonwell has remained faithful to their Druid traditions and kept their old rituals alive. Right-wing evangelist Godwin Mann isn’t about to let that continue, and his intolerant brand of fundamentalism has struck a chord with the residents.

But Mann goes too far when he descends into the pit where the ancient being who’s been worshipped by the Druids for centuries is said to dwell. What emerges is a demon in Mann’s shape, and only the town’s outcasts can see that something is horribly wrong. As the evil spreads, Moonwell becomes cut off from the rest of the world.

I loved this Ramsey Campbell novel and found myself neglecting housework to listen to it because the narration was so good. The reader had the ability to sound like all the characters, whether male or female and his gift for accents was truly amazing.

The story was excellent!

At last a classic Ramsey Campbell title, wonderfully creepy and claustraphobic atmosphere with weird and grotesque characters. Ramsey Campbell is the only author that actually frightens me, his style suggests things rather than coming right out and describing the horrors and that can be very disturbing. I hope we get some more of his early titles such as Incarnate, The Parasite, Midnight Sun, Ancient Images and Needing Ghosts and of course his short story collections.

Thoroughly dislikeable antagonists with accurate rural town, mean minded, nastiness.
The beginning of the ending does drag a bit but picks up at the conclusion.
Excellent reading, can't vouch for the American and Irish accents but the English ones are good.

Well written social horror

I listened to this story out of curiosity as it had good reviews, and the story is based very close to where i live.
i can only assume the reviewers were reading a different book.
The story is unbelievably bad and the characters are laughable.
This book was a complete waste of money and my time.
Ramsey Campbell has written some good stories, this is not one of them.

Totally Laughable story
